Various Artists - Music / Various [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/23/2002

Spirit of Hope by Israeli singer Shira Karmon and the Viennese pianist Paul Gulda presents songs of wisdom, peace and spirituality. InchRooted in our upbringing and family histories, with a view on centuries of life in German speaking Central Europe, we invite you to share the thinking and feelings that arose from a long and intense cultural relationship.Inch Coexistence, mutual attraction or even symbiosis on one hand, conflict, even murderous hate on the other side in approaching the lyrics and songs, one cannot but tune in and resonate with all the connotations that come with this subject. From Mozart's Cantata in 1791 to the most recent compositions dating from 2018, the works were created under given circumstances, by certain artists - yet, the notions and ideas are pertinent universally. Pieces of Hope - Hopes for Peace. A peace that makes hopes and their fulfillment seem possible.

Founded in 1982 in the former county town of Radnorshire in Wales, the Presteigne Festival has become a significant part of the Welsh cultural calendar and is internationally renowned for it's commissioning of new work, support of living composers and with a long tradition for the encouragement of young artists. The festival's orchestra, conducted by Artistic Director George Vass, explores a selection of the many new works premiered by the festival in this volume of recent British music for string orchestra, including a set of variations on the folk song 'Lovely Joan' - with a movement contributed by one of eight composers, concertos by Martin Butler and Joe Duddell and music by the veteran composer Hugh Wood.
